It is believed that the Li family originated from the Ying family name, blood ancestor for Gaotao, Gaotao was appointed as Shun's Dali (in charge of criminal law officer), so the official family for the Li ("Li" "Li" ancient characters are similar), the first for the Li family, and then for the Li family. At the time of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, Li Zheng, who was a hereditary official, was killed because his direct advice angered King Zhou, and his son, Li Zhen, fled with his mother, Qi He, and later settled in Luyi, east of Henan Province.

Research and verification

There is another origin of the Li surname that stems from the Lao surname. This argument mainly stems from the examination of Laozi's surname, that Laozi's surname is not Li but Lao, Li surname originated from the old surname. From the pre-Qin historical documents, in the Laozi before, seems to be no record of people and activities of the Li surname, in addition to the legendary Yin Shang figure Li Li Zhen, to the Spring and Autumn Period, only the judge of the Duke of Jin Li Li.

But according to expert testimony, in the "Records of the Grand Historian - Methodist Lianzhuan" recorded Li Li, the Department of "Zuozhuan" Shi Li's error, not as Li. Until the early Warring States period Wei Wengong appeared when the person of Li Yul, this name and surname is also controversial or several ways to write: Rick, or blackmailed as Li Tui, Jichang. So there is a point of view, Li surname is due to Laozi after the rise, and then passed down.
